The word Easter is only mentioned once in the entire bible, and then it was referring to PASSOVER. Yes! PASSOVER that is mentioned in scripture seventy six times. It is written the word will offend some and there are many who may not believe the holiday easter has nothing to do with Christ, but this does not change the truth of Gods word.

So what is Passover? Passover was a judgment God executed against Egypt and all the firstborn males were to be smited, death was to passover any house that had blood on the two side post’s and the upper door post. God took this passover very seriously just as He expects us to take the passover lamb seriously today who is our Lord Jesus Christ who was without blemish and for this purpose was crucified, and we are told this memorial was to be kept forever throughout all our generations! (Exodus 12:12-14) For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

No matter how many eggs are colored or the telling of fun bunny stories and chocolate rabbits are eaten the worlds easter still remains a tradition of men which makes void the true word of God. As our Lord encountered in His day the traditions of men which was held in such high regard, it completely took preeminence over the keeping of Gods commandment’s! Sadly people will fight to this day to keep the traditions of their forefathers who our Lord plainly told so many generations ago that their heart’s are far from Him! (Mark 7:5-9) Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

So how can egg hunts and easter candy make up for what Jesus (Yahshua) went through on the cross as He was sacrificed for to purge us from all sin? The truth is it can’t! Jesus (Yahshua) kept the passover and before He was to go to the cross He desired to eat passover with His disciples, and it was at the last supper He explained in detail the purpose of His life, not only for them but for all mankind! (Luke 22:1,9-20).

Let’s put Christ back where He deserves to be at this time of year! As our passover …… The Sacrificial Lamb God has chosen who was sent for our salvation! Lets leave out the vain traditions our forefathers have previously taught, for although it may be fun with rabbit’s and candy it sadly does not give honor to God and what was done for us at the cross!May we purge out the old leaven from our life (1 Corinthians  5:7) Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us.
